About the Size oft.


An amusing feature of the Senatorial
contest developed itself last week. 1t was
the publication of ahigh-sounding nantes
to written by Jim Mason, clarifying the
caucus boilers as patriots, and calling upon
The masses of the Democracy TO rally to
support of these twelve true, tried and
courageous Democrats, who in fidelity to
the people and the party, have nobly dis
charged their duty by throwing themselves
in the breach against the political mana
gers who are employing the public patron
age in the State to build up an ofice-hold-
ing oligarchy" The names of the masses
Of the Democracy who responded to this
frantic appeal then follows: They are JOS
eph Sprigg, of Hardy county, one of the
disappointed applicants for U. 5. District
Attorney John B. Floyd, of Kanawha, a
defeated candidate for congressional NOM
ination in the Third district, and who now
holds position in the State Auditors Of
fee; J. C. Anderson, of Ohio county, dis
appointed candidate for Collector of Inter
nal Revenue; J. II. Hurry, Of Harrison,
who wanted to be L. 5. Marshal, and hasn't
voted 4 clean Democratic ticket for dozen
years; J. Hop Woods, Of Barbour, clever
young fellow who wants more offices for the
Woods family; Capt T. A. Bradford, of the
same county, who has often been a candi-
date for Congressional honors in this dis
trict. and whose kindly nature has been
soured and his good judgment warped by
repeated defeats at the hands Of our DEM
ocratic conventions NJ. B. Devine, of Tay-
lor. an ofhce-holder at Charleston; I. II.
Marshall, of the State at large, who Is a
clerk in the Auditors office; j. W. john
son. OF Greenbrier, another unfortunate
Congressional aspirant; Vim. NJ. Tyree, Of
Fayette, who was defeated for the State
Senate last Fall; John Osborne, of Mon
roe county, fragrant in memory as the pre-
tended proxy delegate from Pocahontas,
who cheated Hon. b. F. Martin out of the
Congressional nomination in this district in
1880; John II. Howard, of Ohio county,
another office-holder at Charleston; Leland
Kittle, of Randolph county, a good Demo
crat who is in mighty bad company; and
VIM p. Floyd, of Logan, and John II.
Holt, of Ohio county, heretofore unknown
to fame. These are the unselfsh patriots
who figure as representatives Of the "mass-
es of the Democracy of Mikado Mason's
list Sixteen in all, and every one an office
holder or sorehead.- Fairm0nt Inder.

Wheat.

Wheat is traced to TaTtary, north Of the
Himalaya Mountains, where it was proba-
bly, indigenous to the soil Isis is thought
to have first brought it to Egypt, Demeter
to Greece and Emperor Ching Hong to
have introduced it into China 5000 years
B. c. The great cereal was so successfully
cultivated in the valley Of the Nile that the
exports ut one time were estimated at 90,
100000 bushels, which were chiefly taken
by the Roman market History offers no
satisfactory explanation as to the introduce
ton of wheat into Britain, but in Europe it
was probably cultivated previous to any re-
liable records. The ancient Britons were
known to have planted their wheat in the
spring. however, and scarcity of grain
meant famine to the people long after the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth. Bad haryests
were followed by exorbitant prices While
Edward l. was on the throne the price huc-
tuated between IS pence and go.
The Spaniards are credited with growing
the first wheat in the new world on the Is
land Of Isabella in 1894 It was sown in
January and harvested on March 30. A
slave of Cortez carefully cultivated three or
four grains of wheat in 1880 in Mexico,
while Goswold sowed the first wheat in
America on Chuttyhunk, one of the Eliza
beth Islands in Buzzard's Bay, in 1902,
when he first discovered the coast. Viz
ginia farmers raised wheat successfully from
1911 to l64S, when tobacco was found to be
more profitable crop, and the cereal was
practically abandoned by them for nearly
one hundred years. Early in the seyenteeth
century the different colonies were able to
market satisfactory quality of wheat, but
in 1868 blast and mildew appeared in the
easternmost settlements. Since then less
attention has been paid to the cultivation
of wheat in New England, and the Yankee
States produce to-day only about one-sey-
enteenth Of their annual consumption.
